Segmenting a Multi-Touch Input Region by User - Once a touch has been initiated on a touch input device (such as a multi-touch screen), the touch input device's coordinate space is geographically segmented such that additional touches in close proximity to the initial touch point are treated differently than subsequent touches not in close proximity to the initial touch point. Additional touches near the initial touch point may be associated with the same input stream as the initial touch, while additional touches that are not near the initial touch point may be associated with a second input stream. If the initial touch point moves, as in the case of dragging, the area to be treated as “in close proximity” may be relative to the current location of the touch (i.e., the zone of proximity may travel with the finger as the finger moves). This approach establishes a hardware-independent “first-come, first-serve” protocol.

Filtering Input Streams in a Multi-Touch System - Once a first touch has been initiated on a multi-touch input device, the device ignores any additional touches which are initiated on the device while the first touch is still occurring. For example, although hardware in the device may detect such additional touches, the hardware may opt not to provide input representing such additional touches to software (such as device drivers) executing on the device. Alternatively, the hardware may provide input representing such additional touches to software executing on the device, but such software may ignore such input, such as by not associating the input with any touch input streams maintained by the software. In summary, although the device has the inherent ability to process multiple simultaneous touches, the device may be configured to operate in a “first come, first served” mode, in which the device acts only on touches initiated while no other touch is still occurring.

Apparatus and Methods for Facilitating Prosthesis Donning, Doffing, Retention, and Fit - Apparatus and methods for improved prosthesis donning, doffing, retention, and fit. A valve located in a prosthetic socket port includes a body, a core, a spring located partially within the core, a diaphragm, and a maintained operator. The operator includes a recess and a protrusion. The operator may be indexed to a displacement or vent position. When the operator is indexed to the displacement position, a tip of the core is pressed against the recess via the spring, and the diaphragm displaces any air that enters into the prosthetic socket when a load is applied to the residual limb. When the operator is laterally actuated, it is indexed to the vent position and the core tip moves from the recess to the protrusion. In this position, the diaphragm opens the socket cavity to the external atmosphere via valve vents, thereby facilitating prosthesis donning and doffing.
